On paper the Chase Sapphire Reserve comes out ahead: by realized value minus the annual fee, the Chase Sapphire Reserve nets +$1,553/yr and the United Club℠ Infinite Card nets −$575/yr. Which is actually better depends on your spending and which perks you'll use.
The United Club℠ Infinite Card has the lower annual fee ($695 vs $795).
Both include lounge access — the Chase Sapphire Reserve via Sapphire, Priority Pass, and the United Club℠ Infinite Card via United Club.
